FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Warning signs include persistent humming with no grinding, repeated circuit breaker trips, foul odors that cleaning can’t remove, visible leaks under the sink, water backing up into the sink or dishwasher, and frequent jams. If you experience any of these issues in your Andersonville home, it’s best to shut the unit off at the breaker and call our licensed technicians to avoid further damage.
Can your technicians repair every brand and model of garbage disposal?
Yes. Our Andersonville plumbing team is trained to service all major garbage disposal brands—InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and more—as well as less-common or older models. We carry a broad inventory of OEM parts on our service vehicles, which allows us to complete most repairs in a single visit.
How quickly can you arrive at my Andersonville property for an emergency disposal issue?
For Andersonville residents, we provide same-day service and 24/7 emergency response. Typical arrival time ranges from 60–90 minutes after your call, depending on traffic and technician availability. Because we’re locally based on the North Side, we can reach customers faster than companies dispatching from the suburbs.
Is there anything I should do when my garbage disposal jams before the technician arrives?
First, turn off the disposal and the wall switch. Unplug the unit or shut off its breaker to eliminate electrical risk. Never put your hand inside the chamber. You can attempt to clear minor jams by inserting the hex key (usually supplied with the unit) into the bottom flywheel slot and turning it back and forth. If this doesn’t free the impeller, leave it alone; forcing it can damage the motor. Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they corrode metal parts and void most warranties.
How do I decide whether repair or replacement is the better option?
Our technician will assess the unit’s age, motor condition, and overall wear. If the repair cost approaches 50% of the price of a new, comparably powerful disposal—or if the unit is 8–10 years old and experiencing multiple issues—replacement is generally more economical. We’ll provide an upfront, flat-rate quote for both options so you can make an informed choice.
Do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Absolutely. All repairs performed by our Andersonville plumbers include a 1-year labor warranty and the manufacturer’s parts warranty, typically 1–5 years. If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we’ll return promptly to fix it at no additional cost. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you peace of mind that the job will be done right.
